lyrics

"You're a mystery" read the devil
I'll admit it's kinda clever
How it made you feel so inspired
At the risk of catching fire

"You're history" yelled the rebel
Act as if he's not quite there
Ain't it interesting said the fellow
How we've trapped ourselves in letters?

Even with all the odds against me
I'll admit it wasn't scary
Even with all the odds stacked up
Even with all the odds against me
I'll admit it wasn't very far

"Just wait and see" smiled the devil
Optimistic was the fellow
Of his own desires
Climbing higher, every little task required

Your history, led by several men
Your father didn't care for
Ain't it clear to see? You're a vessel
Trash the cash, let's blow this temple

Even with all the gods against me
I'll admit it wasn't scary
Even with all the bombs stacked up
Even with all the odds against me
I'll admit it wasn't very far

Even with all the odds against me
I'll admit it wasn't scary
Even with all the odds stacked up
Even with all the odds against me
I'll admit it wasn't very far
